Its gonna be diner time before we reach Colchester never mind Mersea Island,plus it a bank holiday weekend which means AIDS levels of traffic on the M1...I need to think about it guys sorry, its an extra 200miles on the previous 2yrs, thats fine if i didnt have a boat to get too!Need to talk to Joz too as its EVEN FURTHER for him!Phil. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 so approx 312 miles start to end, or 624miles round trip!Phil. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 exactement! exactement!on the other hand, it would be a good run for the car (and Joz's too!).Phil. Quote

Liam_D Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Come on Phil, dont let UKSC down. That will be a major trek for you, but would be legendary if you did.If you was going to Rob's house you would meet me and Keirz aswell, as we will more than likely be convoying with Rob.Hope you and Joz can make it Quote
Sparky Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Me and Muddyell will return the favour and come to Ireland for the love of UKSC Quote
SiCaln Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 ah shite Phil this is not a good turn of events Quote
rob_bower Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Think about the burgers mr nanglebadger....how much will you miss those?!? I still have rum too, maybe you could use it as petrol to get home on, if you're too afraid to drink it!!!! Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 hahahaha all very valid points gentlemen, fear not i am in deep consideration. i will think on it for a while.Phil. Quote
Guest Enzo Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 hopefully you and your bro and make it this year bud, i can understand if you dont. im thinkin its gona be about 7 hours to get down there, more for a few of the scottish guys Quote
Sparky Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 It only happens once a year.....come on!! UKSC FTMW!!! Quote
Guest Enzo Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 ive just checked p&o,its only £172 return for the both of you to come to troon on those dates. the ferry crossing ishort.surely that will be able to sway it for you phil as thats £86 per head for you and your bro and your car? Quote
StarletRick Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 phil, stop being a cunt and book the ferry already. you fail for even thinking about not going. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 lol yes Geo buddy i know all about the Troon and Cairnryan ferries, however, the shorter and cheaper the ferry the longer the drive!if i do it i'll be goin into fleetwood as before no questions, and take about 6 or 7hrs from there.The Joz and I have chatted.Phil. Quote
Guest Enzo Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 it would still work out cheaper by a couple of 100 quid for an extra hour behind the wheel?the longer drive with the scottish convoy would be minted ontop of this?i dont understand your logic lol Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 hahahahaaaa u make so many very valid points bossman!Troon to Colchester is 469 miles (8hr 13mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)Fleetwood to Colchester is 293 miles (5hrs 9mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) i think thats long enough thanks please!!!!!!Phil. Quote
